{Shall be with us} (estai meth' h(886d)(936e)). He picks up the
words before in reverse order. Future indicative here, not a wish
with the optative (eie) as we have in  1Pe 1:2  2Pe 1:2 . The
salutation is like that in the Pastoral Epistles: "Charis, the
wellspring in the heart of God; eleos, its outpourings;
eir(886e)(885c), its blessed effect" (David Smith). {And from Jesus
Christ} (kai para I(8873)ou Christou). The repetition of para
(with the ablative) is unique. "It serves to bring out distinctly
the twofold personal relation of man to the Father and to the
Son" (Westcott). "The Fatherhood of God, as revealed by one who
being His Son _can_ reveal the Father, and who as man (I(8873)ou)
can make him known to men" (Brooke).
